Oshawa Community Greening Initiatives and Projects

 

 

Oshawa has a rich natural heritage with three major watershed areas that comprise over 60% of the City’s total parkland inventory. As a proud partner with organizations such as the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, Scouts Canada, Rotary Club, Durham Field Naturalists, and Friends of the Second Marsh, Oshawa has taken a lead role in the planting of 1000’s of native trees and shrubs combined with a significant reduction in grass mowing. Regular commitment to initiatives such as Communities in Bloom, Pitch-in Canada, Scoutrees, and Environmental Earth Angels ensures our community focus is green.
